What lens are you planning to buy with the tax returns?

That's right, what lens are you planning to buy with or with the help of your tax returns?

Wired · 02-16-2010, 01:16 PM

Some DA primes!

40 and 70

I'm planning on using it to pay for the glass I bought in 2009!

With my work bonus, though... well, who's to say how that's allocated?

my tax return buys part of my first quarter 2010 estimated taxes, woohoo!

matiki · 02-16-2010, 01:36 PM

Mine bought a new mattress. Sorry LBA.

**blackcloudbrew** · 02-16-2010, 01:57 PM

I would love to buy a DA*300, but am more likely to pay for last year's LBA activites.

**StephenMerola** · 02-16-2010, 02:09 PM

I have to pay for last years LBA and CBA as well:
Pentax 645 120mm macro
Tamron SP 300mm f/2.8
Rikinon 85mm f1.4
Pentax 85mm f1.8
and my K-7 with grip.

I'm probably going to buy me a genuine D LI90 battery and another flash, probably a Metz 58 or 540FGZ this time, for that I will need another swivel bracket and receiver.

PrimeObjectif · 02-16-2010, 02:33 PM

I'm thinking about the DA 15 or a telezoom (50-135 or 70-200).

We dont get tax returns in the UK like you do every year .. they just keep taking and taking and .....

Votesh · 02-16-2010, 06:59 PM

I'll be spending mine paying off last year's LBA and CBA purchases, like many others here apparently. However, I almost bid on an auction for an MX body with a K 50mm f1.2 and M 35mm f2 which just ended. It ended with no bids and would have been worth the price. Alas, I must be more thrifty in the coming year.

I'm tempted by a sigma 10-20, tamron17-50 or maybe the da15 limited. Widest I have other than the kit lens is the 21ltd. In reality, it is more likely to be going toward on of my kids education though.

Nomad · 02-16-2010, 08:23 PM

I am trying to decide between the Bigma and the Sigma 100-300 and then waiting a month or two and picking up a igma 1.7 tc.
Having a darn hard time deciding though

Thinking about the DA 15.

**Rondec** · 02-17-2010, 05:25 AM

The DA 15 probably (thanks JSherman).
